One by one the group entered this chamber. It was empty of traps and objects in particular. To anyone's best guess it was safe to cross. However, it wasn't void of life. A few of the stalagmites where not like the others. One such creature, a darkmantle, to be exact. Waited for each member to enter the chamber before it released it's spell.
Down came the darkness globe and cast all light from the room. All that was left was a magical darkness. The darkmantle, one for each member, released themselves from the ceiling to drop down upon their prey.
The dwarf saw the darkness and when his eyes couldn't adjust like they were supposed to he figured it was a spell. He rose up his hammer in attempt to dispell the darkness but before he could something heavy slammed him to the ground. He wedged his shield between it and him so it couldn't suck the life out of him. He then rose his hammer once more. "Dispell!" He shouted and the darkness magic vanished.
He was welcomed by the visage of a blind predator. He frowned and aimed his hammer. "Inflict minor wound!" The creature made a cry of pain. He then swung his hammer around dislodging it.
Vivian felt the hit and unlike some of the members she did not really carry enough muscles to withstand the impact. To make it worse the light going out and back on didn't help either. She groaned as she laid there. The thing wrapping its tentacles around her. She reached out squinting until she felt it. She then released a spell. It was called flame touch. This quickly burned the creature causing it to slide off and struggle to recover. She rose back up hoisting up her scythe. She saw it and glared at it as she swung it. The blade cutting through like it was butter.
